A cold front was passing thru, yesterday morning...

tropicdiver · 02-08-2004, 07:10 AM

Of course, I had brought along my tripod, but left the camera / tripod connector at home, and with the low light, it was difficult to hand hold the camera perfectly still at 1/15th of a second. This was one of the earlier photos. Everything was a strange purple.

tropicdiver · 02-08-2004, 07:19 AM

Here's a sunset cloud from last weekend over in Bokeelia. I don't think I've shared this one. Nothing special, but I enjoyed the silhouette.

paddyjoe · 02-08-2004, 08:10 AM

Hooray, Columbus was right, the world is round!

tropicdiver · 02-08-2004, 08:29 AM

PJ, the above pier looks rather familar. Where'd ya' take the photo?

paddyjoe · 02-08-2004, 09:59 AM

Down in your neighborhood TD, Naples, Fla.

here's another one...........same shot,just a bit sooner than the previous pic.

tropicdiver · 02-08-2004, 06:20 PM

It turned damned cold this weekend in south Florida. As the sun was setting, tonite, it was <B>only</B> 60. Everyone had on jackets. Horrible. Sunset was okay, tho.

tropicdiver · 02-08-2004, 06:22 PM

Temps are down in the 50's, now, and the heater is going full blast!

goateebird · 02-08-2004, 06:24 PM

From a trip to Chincoteague Island in Virginia

mbchills · 02-09-2004, 11:54 AM

tropic, those are amazing shots!

i am just wondering, for those shots. did it actually look like that? or did you do anything to the photo

FishKing · 02-10-2004, 07:13 PM

I like the pids, what lake is that?

Thanks, very much, MB.

To answer your question, it depends. If you look at this photo, the only thing I've done is cropped it and added a sig. Now, if you look at where the sun has set and imagine me zooming in from the camera's maximum wide angle of 35mm to it's maximum telephoto of 280mm, you'll see nothing but the brilliant red's of the area where the sun has just set. Depending on how dark the photo is, I have lightned them at time to show a bit more detail and if I'm not using a tripod and the photo doesn't come out as sharp as I have wished, I may use some unsharp masking on it. Rarely do I saturate the colors, because they really don't need it. Some people think the best sunsets in the world are in Key West (from a sunset party atmosphere, they may be right), but those same folks that say that have never witnessed a sunset from 130 miles due north in the Fort Myers / Sanibel area.

apeman · 02-11-2004, 08:42 AM

I didn't get any nice sunsets in New Zealand .. I think there's not enough dust in the air or something..

The last few shots are very very very good!

I know Seattle isn't exactly the pinnacle (or in this case, trough) of cold weather, but I still get a kick out of people who are freezing their a$$es off when the weather gets down to the 60s and 50s. In Seattle, when temps hit the 60s for the first time of the year most people come out in shorts!!!

Beautiful pics though TD. I'm glad you braved the elements to get them.

tropicdiver · 02-11-2004, 02:54 PM

Well, as you know, NSUE, it is tough duty, but someone has to do it and I've bellied up to the bar and am going to handle the task. Today was much better at 79F and tomorrow, it is supposed to be 81F.

And thanks, too.

I am so jonesing for a new place for a sunset or a sunrise. Thought I had found one, yesterday, but it didn't pan out. Thanks for your kind words.

nice photos every1 :up:

tropicdiver · 02-12-2004, 05:24 PM

I had to drive from Ft. Myers to Bonita Springs (about 30 minutes south in our 'rush hour') this morning. The fog was not really thick, but it was there. I had to crop out the tops of some cars, when I stopped at the stop lites, but I couldn't pass up cranking down the window and taking a shot or two on the way.

tropicdiver · 02-12-2004, 05:25 PM

One more sunrise shot out of the truck window from this morning.

tropicdiver · 02-12-2004, 06:03 PM

And of course, we did have a sunset, tonite. Nothing special, except for the fact being out on the Caloosahatchee and feeling the cool breeze off of the river.

tropicdiver · 02-12-2004, 06:05 PM

It was a gorgeous evening to be out on the water. Temps were in the low 80's, today.

tropicdiver · 02-12-2004, 06:07 PM

Last one for tonite.

tropicdiver · 02-14-2004, 07:38 AM

This was our Valentine's Day sunrise this morning. Caught a group of fisherfolks going out on the MV Happy Hooker.

tropicdiver · 02-14-2004, 08:51 AM

There are one or two sailboats that enjoy making Mantanzas Pass an anchorage. Sunrise this morning.

theemaan · 02-16-2004, 07:03 AM

Sunrise on New Years morning over the Indian river

You are way too kind, B. Thanks.

Here's the Sunset Festival on Mallory Pier. The photo has problems, but you had to be there, I guess.

NoLa · 03-03-2004, 07:23 PM

Amazing...

I plan on taking a photography class this summer! At a local college. I had photography several years ago in high school, but we didn't really learn that much, I had a lazy teacher.

ritzboi · 03-03-2004, 07:31 PM

wow, excellent shots, all

tropicdiver · 03-06-2004, 02:47 AM

Here's a couple of other shots I got while down in Key West last weekend.

tropicdiver · 03-25-2004, 06:10 PM

Sunset last nite.

apeman · 03-30-2004, 03:05 AM

those are some pretty damn fine photos!

think I'm all sunsetted out now though

nosuchuserexist · 03-30-2004, 01:08 PM

From my deck. Not nearly as nice as tropicdiver's sunrise/set shots but it's still a decent view to wake up to.
